All I heard when the Tea Party thing happened was "You cannot judge the whole movement on the oh-so tiny few who bring racist signs to a protest!" Surely the same courtesy and understanding that these rioters do not represent the majority of folks upset over the Zimmerman verdict will be extended, right?

Why do we not see Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton on TV condemning this behavior? You want justice, fine, go about it in a peaceful manner.

You message of racial inequality needing to be corrected within the Justice System falls on deaf ears when you lash out in violence, theft, and property destruction. Being a stereotype is not helping your cause!

And these people pretty much farked themselves even more. How many of those stores will shut down or move away now that this has happend. I remember after the Rodney King trial all the rioting and years after that many of the buildings were still burned out and empty because nobody would invest in that neighborhood again.
